RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL: FUEL YOUR PASSION FOR THE GOSPEL! FRIDAY-;18TH-;O CTOBER-;2013... WITH*PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME* Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavour; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.( Romans 12:11 AMP) The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only saving message for the world, and youre a custodian of this life-changing message. Its the message of power by which God saves, heals, protects, delivers, preserves, and prospers. In Romans 1:16-17, the Apostle Paul said,For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Observe those beautiful, Spirit-inspired words carefully; it says, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. The Gospel isnt one of the requirements nor part of Gods power for salvation, no! The Holy Spirit, penning down this truth through Paul, was absolute! The Gospel is Gods ONLY power to save man. You must be convinced about this and become passionate in your spirit for the Gospel. When youre passionate about the Gospel itll impact those around you. Passion is like fire that must be fuelled, otherwise itll be extinguished. Therefore, you must fuel your passion for the Gospel. The Gospel of Christ must burn in your heart. Fuel your passion for the Gospel by talking and sharing it again and again! Talk and discuss the Gospel. Discuss with people of like passion: those who are equally fired up in their spirits for the Gospel. Dont spend time on the wrong information that could dissipate your zeal; dont spend time with those who have no passion for the Lord, and for the Gospel. Spend time in the Gospel! Keep talking the Word and of your love for Christ and His Kingdom. The more you talk about His kindness, goodness, love for the world, and His message of salvation, the more the fire of His love will burn in the quarters of your heart! PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for making me a custodian of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only message that can save the sinner, and bring them out of darkness into the glorious life of righteousness! I thank you for counting me faithful and worthy to be a minister of reconciliation; Im ministering the Gospel with power, to the unsaved around me today, in JesusName. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 1:16(KJV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (CEV) 16 I am proud of the good news! It is Gods powerful way of saving all people who have faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles. (GNT) 16 I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is Gods power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles. (NLT) 16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. (AMP) 16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, 1 Corinthians 1:18(KJV) 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (CEV) 18 The message about the cross doesnt make any sense to lost people. But for those of us who are being saved, it is Gods power at work. (GNT) 18 For the message about Christs death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is Gods power. (NLT) 18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. (AMP) 18 For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God.
